The Exclusive Meekz Windbreaker
We often get asked at Activize, what is a 'Meekz'? and why is it so expensive? so we thought we'd give you a detailed explanation of what the Meekz windbreaker actually is and why it is so popular. So that we can clear up the confusion on why this jacket is actually much different to your standard Nike windbreaker and why its pricing is so high in comparison to the other jackets that we stock.
The Story Behind the Meekz Windbreaker
Nike has long been known for releasing iconic pieces of activewear, but few have made as much noise as the Meekz Windbreaker. This highly sought-after Nike jacket first caught attention when UK rapper Meekz wore it in his viral music video, solidifying its place in both streetwear culture and sports fashion. With its unique design and unmistakable aesthetic, the Meekz windbreaker has become a true collector’s item, driving demand through the roof.
The Meekz windbreaker shot to fame after the rapper prominently wore it in the music video for his hit single "Like me" Released in late 2020, the video quickly racked up millions of views, with fans not only appreciating the song but also taking note of the standout jacket that Meekz was wearing. The windbreaker’s bold, street-ready design complemented Meekz’s style, and soon after, it became a symbol of both athletic performance and urban culture. Its association with Meekz's authentic, raw image helped the jacket transcend beyond a simple Nike release—it's became a status piece in the fashion/activewear world.
Unique Design and Features
What sets the Meekz windbreaker apart from other Nike jackets is its distinctive color palette. The jacket features a rare blend of deep charcoal with electric neon and red accents, creating a look that’s equal parts edgy and stylish. This color scheme is unlike anything else in Nike’s current collection, making it a standout choice for anyone looking to break away from traditional activewear looks.
The jacket is also crafted with Dri-FIT technology, ensuring that wearers stay cool and dry, even during intense activities. Its lightweight, water-resistant material makes it a perfect choice for athletes who train in unpredictable weather, while its breathable fabric keeps you comfortable on the move. The sleek fit and adjustable hood offer added versatility, making it ideal for both streetwear and workout sessions.
Skyrocketing Demand and Limited Availability
Ever since its release, the Meekz windbreaker has been in high demand. Nike first dropped the jacket in February 2019, but the initial release sold out almost immediately, leading to a wave of restocks and limited edition drops. As the jacket is now over 5 years old, to find one in brand new condition is insanely rare, therefore why the ones that we do stock are priced so highly. Fans of both Meekz and Nike’s performance gear have been scrambling to get their hands on one ever since. With its unique design, association with a rising music star, and high-performance features, it's no wonder that this jacket has become a fashion grail.
